Automatically Add All Relationships to the Map

jmk_307 — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 13:00:34 GMT

ArcGIS Pro needs a feature/ capability to add all relationships that a featureclass or table has to the Map when a featureclass is added, or after through the context menu. Since relationships are needed to be included in a feature service for branched versioning "Feature services allow queries on related data, but only if the relationship is defined through a geodatabase relationship class and both the origin and destination tables are in the map before you publish", there needs to be a faster and better way for us to add these relationships to the Map:

Thank you.

I'd happily take this as a checkbox in the add data window or a dropdown in the catalog right-click--> "Add to map"

Hi @jmk_307! Would you be able to split this into two separate Ideas? It will allow us to better keep track of support from the community. Feel free to add the link to the second one in the comments and I'll re-open this thread then. Thanks so much.

@ValeriaChavez - I'll split them.

Doing some more work for adding the related tables and having to manually add each to the map, then re-analyzing because it is only showing the "show relates" contextual menu option on the first item in the list.

trying to view the second one below:

This gives ZERO indication of what relationship is missing. Since it takes 6-7 minutes each time to analyze, this is painful.
